What is a media search?
Research the applicant's outside business interests, and
active participation in organized events through national
newspaper databases and Internet resources, including identifying
the applicant as author of postings in any Usenet discussion
groups.
Why is a media search relevant?
An applicant may have an interest in a competing business,
could be posting inappropriate comments, or disclosing proprietary
information about a current or past employer(s)
Example:
KR Screening obtained evidence that an applicant was soliciting
specific information from on-line discussion groups in order
to extort from his current employer.
